Parents who provide their children with respect, support, supervision, consistent discipline, and a strong affection tie are likely to be rewarded with children less likely to become involved with antisocial peers and in delinquent behavior. Supportive parent-child relationships, positive discipline methods, close monitoring, and supervision, parental advocacy for their children, and parental pursuit of needed information and support consistently buffer children against problem behaviors.
When parents fail to fulfill their fundamental responsibilities as caregiver, children suffer the consequences. Improving fundamental parenting practices reduces problem behaviors.

Raising awareness of the need for effective and responsible parenting and parent education and training to preserve and advance the wellbeing of children and reduce the health and social issues attributed to ineffective parenting is the message of The Responsible Parenting Campaign.
The Right Solution: Parenting Education and Training
Empirical findings indicate that parents are a critical, if not the most critical, factor in the social development of children and that parents influence the probability of delinquency and other problem behaviors among their children.

Children exposed to ineffective parenting behaviors such as poor supervision, rejection, or harsh and inconsistent discipline are more at risk of developing antisocial behaviors which lead to a host of health and social issues that impact the wellbeing of the child and society including a child’s risk for delinquency and other problem behaviors.
